About me
Psychotherapy offers a confidential space where you can take time to explore different aspects of yourself, your relationships, and your life more deeply. Through collaborative reflection, we can develop greater understanding and new perspectives, opening up the possibility for meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel daunting. I believe the foundation of effective therapy is a strong, trusting relationship, one in which you feel safe enough to explore areas of life that may be difficult or painful.
I work with people experiencing a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, sexual and gender identity, and addiction. I offer both short-term work (6–12 weeks) and longer-term, open-ended therapy. Together, we can tailor the work to suit your individual needs.
I work both in person in North and East London and online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapist offering sessions both online and in person, in North and East London.
I work with clients from all walks of life, struggling with a whole range of issues including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, loss, bereavement, abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, verbal), trauma, family issues, health related issues, self-esteem, sexual identity, gender identity. I have specialist experience working with substance use and addiction as well as LQBT+ issues, including chemsex and gender and sexual identity issues.
My main therapeutic approach is Existential Psychotherapy although my training has been integrative which means I am able to incorporate Psychodynamic therapy, including attachment theory as well as Person-centred and Humanistic approaches.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked as a Registered Nurse for both the NHS and the charity sector, specialising in substance misuse and addictions. I have also worked in voluntary services specialising in LGBTQ+ mental health.
I hold a Master’s degree in Existential Psychotherapy from Regent’s University and I am currently working towards a Post Graduate Certificate in Existential Psychotherapy. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I adhere to their Ethical Framework.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
